Norwich’s population was once 1/3rd Dutch/Flemish, they were known as the ‘Strangers’.
The Dutch influence isn’t that obvious, but still there. The football club uses the canary as a symbol, which is taken from the Strangers, and the countryside in Norfolk/East Anglia (especially round the fenlands) feels very Dutch.
